Lecturer II
Solution:
Each successive number is 3 larger than the
preceding number. Thus, we predict that the next
number that 3 larger than 15 is 18.
Solution:
The first two numbers differ by 2. The second and third
numbers differ by 3. It appears that the difference between
any two numbers is always 1 more than the preceding
difference. Since 10 and 15 is differ by 5 we predict that the
next in the list will be 6 larger than 15 which is 21.
